Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administrative data

Endpoint:
eye irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Comparable to OECD guideline study. Acceptable, well documented report which meets basic scientific principles. Study was conducted before establishment of the OECD Test Guideline, but study protocol is in principle similar to OECD TG 405, with acceptable restrictions (only 50 µL instilled, only 2 animals used, observation period only 8 days).

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
Only 50 µL instilled, only 2 animals used, observation period only 8 days.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Standardized test method (BASF-Test)
Before OECD Guideline 405 was established, eye irritation was tested using an internal method (BASF test). White Vienna rabbits were used. 50 µL of the test substance were applied to the conjunctival sac of one eye each in 2 animals. The saline-treated adjacent eye served as control. The animals were observed after 10 min, 1 and 3 h on the day of treatment and daily up to 8 days afterwards. The eyes were not washed out after 24 hours as specified in OECD Guideline 405. The report describes findings after 1 and 24 hours and at the end of the observation period. For final evaluation, the findings after 48 and 72 hours from the raw data were taken into account.
GLP compliance:
no
